sounds great but it 100% whole wheat gluten free?

1/2 c oil is A LOT. That makes this recipe NOT healthy. There are many options for fat substitutes. Also, 35 servings from a loaf of bread is unrealistic. They would be paper thin.

This is the first time I have seen your receips, I have a question. I have a great receipe from my mother-in-law. It is 100% whole wheat, etc. It is very crumbly, can you help. I will certainly try your whole wheat breads. Thank you very much.

Delicious! This is a hearty/ wholesome recipe. We used the brown sugar, but substituted the white sugar for splenda. We also added a tsp of natural vanilla extract, and lots of nuts.

I made this bread, but added carrots in it also. I also substituted some of the oil for apple sauce. You can add coconut and other dried fruits to this, and make it into muffins. The basic recipe is there, use your imigination and add your favorites!
